Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? 1897, Paul Gauguin
Synopsis
A film from the Les Petits Secrets des grands tableaux collection - Season 3
The reclusive Paul Gauguin painted Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? (1897) during his self-imposed exile in Tahiti, a lost paradise marred by colonial folly. This imaginary pantheon, which he saw as his moral and artistic legacy, marked the entry of primitive arts into modern art.

Butterfly, by Florence Miailhe
A man swims in the sea. This brings back memories. They are all connected to water, from his early childhood to his adult life. This will be the story of his last swim.
🦋 'Butterfly' won the Crystal Bear Young People's Jury at the Berlinale and was selected for the Official Competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where it received the André Martin Prize.
